Hey-there, heigh-there, ho-there, Tina! I'm so glad you brought your question to planDisney. It sounds like you're planning a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort, so let's look at some ways to ensure you can secure the trip of your dreams.
The
Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket gives your family four fabulous days in the theme parks. But before you finalize your ticket purchase, you're wise to double-check theme park reservation availability.
I chatted with a helpful Cast Member who said you can look at the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar to make sure the parks you'd like to visit aren't at capacity. As of now, it looks like all theme parks are available for the week you plan to visit. Woo hoo!
The Cast Member recommended you make those theme park reservations for all four days as soon as you finalize your ticket order. The reservations for this offer don't have to be on consecutive days, so feel free to work in a resort day.
Another option is to call
Tickets and Hotel Reservations for assistance. They can place your ticket order and even help make your theme park reservations.
Remember to bring your
proof of Florida residency to activate those theme park tickets. I've also found that my billing address must be in Florida to complete many online purchases that are exclusive to residents. Again, if you need any help, please call the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line.
If you're also curious about Disney Resort Hotel availability during your stay, head to the
Explore Resort Hotels page and enter your dates and party size. Keep in mind that most standard rooms accommodate four or five guests, so if you'd like all six guests in the same room, I suggest looking for a family suite or a villa. You could also book two standard rooms to give everyone a bit more privacy.
Finally, you can
check dining availability by entering your dates and party size online or in the My Disney Experience Mobile App. You're within the
60-day booking window, and my tip is to book at least one character meal. Since the characters come to your table, I think you'll have a blast getting the whole family in on the act!
Tina, I hope I've given you a starting point for booking a practically perfect Disney vacation. Please stop by
planDisney anytime!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
